Since I’ve to Minnesota, I have gone with my roommate to his church several times. Back home, church was of vital to my family as my great grandfather started and still is the pastor of his own church, to which we all are apart of. So coming up here finding somewhere to go to church was a must and being apart of a community of people who shared a similar ideology as i did was important. I also have a small group of friends who I crochet and knit with from time to time. I enjoy this because my grandmother taught my siblings and I how to crochet as a stress relief activity and it reminds me of patience and focus and how beautiful item can be built out of them.

    “We’re told these days that the hottest and fastest wire into memory is our sense of smell, but music must run a close second. Some songs carry us into a certain mood, some to a general region of our past lives, and some to a very particular moment and situation in time,” states Stephen Corey in A Voice for the Lonely. I cannot think of a time in my life where music hasn’t been there because I use music in times of trouble and in times of joy. It is in the background of every memory I have.…

    Faith is the belief in something greater than us one can put full trust, confidence, and reliance on when difficult times arise. I was raised to be involved with church activities to maintain my spiritual life; additionally my faith grew dramatically when my cousin deceased and gave me an overview of what I wanted to pursue my career as. When I was a child, my parents encouraged me to always be as loving and caring as I could be, not for personal gain, but to be benevolent to the people around me. I was raised with two loving parents, Mario and Rebeca, along with a younger brother, Mario and older sister, Ana.…

In high school, I began to augment my deficits with strengths. Where my grades were lacking I made up for it through creativity; I excelled at art and photography.…
